Typical examples are “tsumugi”, “omeshi”, and cotton “kasuri”. Tsumugi is especially popular in Japan today, often in simple designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePost-dyed fabrics (“SOME”) are woven from undyed white thread, then finished with techniques such as “komon”, “bingata”, or “yuzen” dyeing. I feel that the kimono people overseas imagine is usually this “SOME” type — the smooth, glossy, satin-like silk of a yuzen kimono or scarf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis haori is an “Oshima Tsumugi” — one of several distinct styles of tsumugi weave. Its finely patterned, tightly woven surface sets it apart from other tsumugi, with a dry, textured, matte character quite different from the smooth, liquid feel of satin silk. That distinctive texture is the nature of tsumugi, not a flaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEvery piece is vintage and one of a kind.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACHIKO KIMONO Japanese Kimonos, Vintage \u0026 Upcycled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52669615046941,"sku":"ASB009","price":673.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0689\/3558\/1981\/files\/IMG_9156_f1096dad-c746-46bf-a365-dfed4fddf060.jpg?v=1785655349","url":"https:\/\/machikokimono.com\/en-au\/products\/vintage-oshima-tsumugi-haori-kimono-pants-set-upcycled-from-japanese-kimono-asb-%e3%82%b3%e3%83%94%e3%83%bc","provider":"MACHIKO KIMONO Japanese Kimonos, Vintage \u0026 Upcycled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
